Great plans and appreciate the video. Helps it all make sense.
Did the edge banding this afternoon, will complete the entire bench in a few days. Thanks.
Your video was very helpful and the printed instructions helped me finish the project, I had a couple of minor setbacks but not bad enough to ruin the experience.
I ended looking for a size of screws to attach the latches that were not on your materials list or maybe I missed it.
Overall very satisfied with the result, Thank you.
Easy for beginners. Well illustrated and step by step instructions
.
Very thorough and gives useful ways to approach carpentry problems.
